It is sad but I empathize with your mom. I'd much rather eat what I want and be happy while I'm here than to eat the tastelesd "healthy" crap the rest of my life. I really can't stand most food labeled as healthy. I would be totally miserable only eating that garb. I'm healthy at the moment but that could change at any time. I'd also like to add that even though I'd be miserable, I'll probably eat the healthy crap for my children.

I don't know why, but Every Time I read something like this I think of the Late Jim Fixx.

LOL

Much of what has been pushed as "healthy" for the last 50 years or so really isn't. You don't want low fat. You want low carbs. However, I don't think we should take this thread that far off topic, so I won't expound on that any further.

I've never really had an issue in the workplace. I manage a small liquor store and our boss has a strict rule about smoking and vaping. You have to take it outside or to your vehicle, period. It's really just being respectful to everyone else. He would be 100% ok with it and he understands the harm is minuscule in comparison with smoking, but not everyone in the public gets it. I don't want cigarette smoke blown in my face and I respect the fact that people don't necessarily want vapor blown into their space. I find it rude when someone wants to blow vapor all over the place in a restaurant or a bar just because it's not smoke

I"m still trying to figure out how to get my cigalike with clearo to blow vapor all over the place. Try as I might, chain vape as I do, it just doesn't ever seem to work out that way. But some vapers truly seem to think it is possible or have devices where it is occurring.

Perhaps don't use your mega vape device when out and about in public?

    No... I'm not Really Sure if some of your Posts are Being Sarcastic? Or if is what you Think?

    And I'm going to have to Look Up what a "open containment system" is and how it relates to NJoy.

    .. the actual dual users are likely to screw it all up for all of us.
    And just how is that? Facts only please.

    They really need to ____ or get off the pot. Fish or cut bait. ...
    non sequiturs - most people need to do one before the other. Dual users?

    but these idiots doing both, they really are going to screw the whole thing up for everybody.
    IDIOT???? I could not think of anything appropriate to say, so read in between the lines | |! :ohmy:

    Did you join Senator Harkins? (Don't answer, that was over the top) :facepalm:

    Do they somehow imagine that just because they vape at work, the cigarettes they smoke at home aren't going to hurt them??
    Been smoking for over 45 years and most of that at a 1 1/2 PAD, have a pretty good idea bout the dangers.

    However over the last five months, my heart rate only dropped 2-4 points, breathing didn't get easier, I didn't cough anything up, nothing smelled differently except cigarette smokers and ashtrays, food didn't taste any better except an occasional meal, no headaches, nausea, or cramps! It was not until two weeks ago that ingnormaous things people did or choice they made that affected me started desire for some cigarette stress relief. So I smoke one or two at night to get past the craving.

    Yet vaping has kept me from more than 5,000 cigarettes!!! Thanks for your support.

    Wow seems like opinions are frowned upon.
    The reason I ranted here was to get it out my system. After venting I have called down and looked from other points of views.... well nvm wouldn't want to offend any one with a personal opinion

    Great point about opinions, see post # 169.

    Now that I have this off my chest I think I'll try a little of that Castle Long Reserve I have sitting here.

    You know what I'm REALLY sick of? It's not sub ohmers, it's not dual users, it's not tall vapers, or short vapers, or vapers that have facial hair. I'm SICK of people bashing others (especially vapers) for their personal choices.

    This type of mentality is behind a great deal of the crap this country is going through right now.

    Mind your own .......n business. Seriously.

    Ok so at work there is only 2 of us who vape instead of smoke there is about 10 people who vape just to "smoke" inside but outside of work hours they smoke cigs like freight trains.
    These people literally make me want to scream

    I think it's great that they avoided so many cigarettes all day. It's none of my business how many cigs somebody smokes when they're not vaping. Hopefully they will eventually transition. I don't understand why people who vape and smoke should threaten anyone?
     
    probably 75% of smokers i talk to do not have any interest in quitting. they respond with "i dont care". "im going to die anyways" or "good then ill die faster". the others want to quit but are too lazy to go get a vape. very few people say yea i really want to quit ive tried this but didnt work but yea let m try e cigs how do i start. so i just say survival of the fittest. dont we have a population and pollution problem anyway?

    That's SO frustrating! I have a friend who says things to that affect. Her recent excuse was "vaping is expensive! If you want me to vape so bad, buy me a vape!" little does she know I'm taking her up on that lol I just recently got into mods & outgrown my ego so I'm gonna hand her my ego real soon with a few nommy e juices & pray she sticks with it. I've also already bought a friend an ego starter kit that cost more than my ego I had at the time only to see her smoking a newport a week later! I WAS SO ...... it was like a huge slap in the face & til this day she still tries to reach for my vape when we're at the club or somewhere she can't smoke.

    But I definitely agree people always fight you when you try to talk to them about kicking that habit & starting this amazing hobby, it really sucks. I think people just have to get to that point where they REALLLY want to quit otherwise it's like talking to a brick wall. :glare: :rolleyes:

    Relax about the FDA.


    Banning ejuice by the FDA won't happen for about another 4 years, if at all. Instead of stocking up, follow CASAA and write a few letters to your reps in congress.

    I predict in the next year or so, vapers and the 10,000+ vape shops, will have enough clout to make a positive impression to the powers-that-be.

    IMO we should not relax about the FDA.
    A few letters to reps in Congress will mean nothing the first time a politician holds up a photo of mod shrapnel (like what happened at VapeBlast).
    Incidences like that are just handing the "anti-smoking/anti-vaping" camp the broad brush which with to paint all "electronic cigarettes".

    Vaping has experienced, well financed, well organized and POWERFUL enemies in the three worse areas to have them: Industry (specifically tobacco & pharmaceutical), Political, and the Media.
    The FDA deeming document spells out exactly what the FDA considers acceptable electronic cigarettes: tobacco-flavored NJOY "clones".

    If you think the governments (both Federal and State) doesn't have the will and power to quickly eliminate a "vice"--destroying the vaping experiences we've been enjoying these last few years--you need look no further than another industry that was wiped out, virtually overnight and at the pinnacle of its popularity: Online Poker
